Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee - Regular Meeting

As a point of order, since the maker is here, can we give like a few comments? Because if you're going to be working on it, I have a lot. I have a lot. So, I mean, I get it. We don't want to have the public hearing because then we won't be able to have the public hearing. But I would love to speak on 1G1 if possible.

So, Commissioner, I understand where you're coming from. I get the frustration. But at the same time, I think it's a horrible idea to create a process that lives on a director's desk. I mean, you are one of the people that complains the most about not having access to information. So I think that this would create something very similar. It also concerns me that There is no requirement to have an agreement with county government on these things. So I think that there is another path that you could speak to staff about. We did find, and Abby has the information, but I don't want to take everyon

I just have a few questions for staff on 1G2. I don't have an issue with the other one, so if I can bifurcate that one.

Okay, thank you. 1G2. All right, so 1G2, if I could have Durham come up.

Thank you. Through the Chair, so listen, I get it. There was a few things on here that were not mentioned that have come up. Liveaboards, mooring, enforcing existing Durham rules. And those have come up on the days, so I would love for this board to take that up. It concerns me that we keep creating boards and they all cost money. This one's coming out of Durham. I think that we should be rolling up boards, not creating more boards. And obviously, but I get, I spoke to staff and I understand that other boards are being hijacked with these issues. So I understand why you're creating this. But I

I agree. I'm just saying, and we'll circle back to the liveaboard, but I really think we need to put in some time on the Marine Safety Patrol and also where these things kind of intersect, right? Because what a boater is doing in terms of their sanitary sewer on their boat, is not related to boater safety, but is related to the activities that are happening on the water, right? So there are like intersections, the same thing with like the moorings and what are happening with the moorings. So I don't wanna mix apples and oranges. I just wanna make sure that when we're dealing with boater safety

Thank you. Thank you. And I'm happy to move it. You know, I'm happy to move it.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'd like to thank you for this item. I think it is a much needed board, especially in light of recent events on our orders. I'd like to be noted as a co-sponsor.

Um, I just wanted to pick up sponsorship, uh, for three a and three C. Okay. Um, and then to be, um, I'd like to, to speak on it. The maker's not here, so I'll just put my comments on the record. But other than that, happy to move the balance.

So, so to be, I think it's a good idea. I think that we should not just focus on the municipalities. I think that there's a. There's an opportunity to also add Miami-Dade County public schools. So that's my recommendation to the maker. And given the cost of animal services, I think that we should tailor some of these items to focus on in-kind and partnerships before we start drawing. You know, this does have a fiscal impact. So I would like us to focus on that before we actually start spending money. I think we need to start putting that specifically in these items. It's a great idea, but what
